Chapter339
“Are you really not going to take another look at Heriberto?” Aedan looked at her and asked.
He had been quietly watching her for over ten minutes, but Iris didn’t notice at all.
Iris finally turned her head slowly and looked at him.
Aedan gave her a quick smile, “Go see him, don’t let yourself regret it, at least he was Zeke and Bella’s dad.”
Iris looked at him, and suddenly her eyes turned red. She answered softly, “Okay.”

Hospital, in the intensive care unit.
After Everett left Bluehaven Estates, he came to the hospital again.
Seeing someone who used to be so full of life now lying in the ICU, with all kinds of tubes stuck in them, their faee as pale as paper, not moving at all.
Even Everett, who was usually pretty thick–skinned, felt really awful and heavy–hearted.
He stayed with Heriberto in the ICU for a long time talked to him a lot.
But Heriberto was like he was dead, no reaction at all.
Luckily, the data on the monitor showed he was still alive.

Chapter 339
At least there was still a breath left, and the heartbeat hadn’t stopped.
Otherwise, Everett really thought he was dead.
“Heriberto, Heriberto, you had it today too!”
Everett sat by the hospital bed, one long leg propped over the other, if I shaking it carelessly. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Tell me, slapped you twice right now, would you not remember it?”
“Damn, you knocked out two of my front teeth when you were eight, I still remember it. It’s not too much if I slap you twice to pay you back, right?”
He said this, stood up, took another step toward the hospital bed, then raised his hand and shook his right wrist.
He even argued, “I think if I slapped you twice, you’d probably wake up.”
Then he raised his hand and aimed it at Heriberto’s face, which had no color but was still so good–looking it was almost criminal.
“I slapped you, were you ready?”
Heriberto still didn’t move, not even his eyelids twitched, no reaction
at all.
Everett bared his teeth and hissed, “Shit, Heriberto, you looking down on me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped Heriberto across the face.
A strong gust of wind swept by.
When Everett’s palm was just one centimeter away from Heriberto’s

face, it suddenly stopped.
The slap didn’t land, and Heriberto still didn’t react at all.
Everett looked and almost wanted to cry.
But didn’t cry, just gave a helpless smile.
But the smile looked even worse than crying.
“Heriberto, give me some reaction, or I’m really gonna hit your
“You didn’t bully me enough when we were kids? With some interes, it wasn’t too much at all for me to slap you a few times, I’m telling you,”
He ground his back teeth and yelled, and his angry spit almost sprayed onto Heriberto’s face.
But Heriberto still didn’t react at all.
“Pop!”
Everett really slapped him.
But he only used half his strength, and on Heriberto’s face, because of that slap, there was a bit of color and five blurry fingerprints.
“Heriberto, didn’t you fucking love Iris like crazy? Then wake up and win her back! What kind of man are you just lying here half–dead like this!”
